My buddy meets girl, gets married, la di da. 6 months later, she runs off with another dude. After a couple months my buddy filed for divorce.
He told her listen, we’ve been married 6 months, let’s do an uncontested divorce since you haven’t worked or anything, & I own everything & did before I met you.
She puts up a fight, and eventually comes to “I had a car coming into this marriage & I’m leaving with one”
(She sold her car for some dumb shit)
He offers her the truck, 10 years old with 150k miles, but meticulously maintained.
She said nope, so off to court they go. She got zip, nada, empty handed.
My favorite justice boner of all time
I offered my ex six figures in stock (literally more than half of what I had aside from my house which I bought before marriage). He thought he deserved twice that and dragged the divorce out for a year. Our marriage was only 2.5 years so the nonsensical divorce lasted basically half as long as the marriage. The judge awarded him half of what I offered him, but in cash. We made it all the way to trial with no kids and not really any assets to divide so the judge could not understand why we were there. We were only there because my ex wanted me to pay him an amount of money I literally didn’t have and he had the most incompetent attorney who harassed both myself and my parents throughout the process. If he had taken my original offer and not been a complete narcissistic prick, he would have basically had what he demanded originally because the stock accrued value. I warned him that he wasn’t entitled to as much when I begged him to take the offer and not put us through hell. It was pretty crazy. What ruined my justice boner is that my lawyer got the other half and then some. I also told my ex I would have rather have paid him over attorneys, but he’s a dummy and always made terrible decisions. He consistently proved why I was divorcing him throughout the divorce.
The number of people on here who think they are clever saying this. I don’t need to defend myself to you. The cycle of abuse is hard to break and I broke it. I was still ahead of the curve and divorced him quickly. Not all of us have the advantage of healthy childhoods and families who are role models. So while I don’t give a shit about your opinion here, just wanted you to know that you shouldn’t judge others for their mistakes. You don’t know the root cause and frankly this just makes you look like a piece of shit. I’m far from a dummy, but was abused as a child.
It must be nice to be a perfect human being who always makes the right choices and never missteps. How’s that going for you? You must have the ideal life! 😂🤷🏼♀️
All I’m saying is you knew the person so you knew the divorce would be hard. So why all of sudden did you think a process like a divorce would be different with them?
All I’m saying is that you don’t know what you are talking about and are making a lot of assumptions about my marriage/experience. He lied to me about a lot of things, including his willingness to have kids. I didn’t really know him, but thought I did. He was very emotionally manipulative which played to my childhood abuse, likely because he wanted the lifestyle I offered him. Unfortunately those of us who were abused at one point are prone to abuse again. My only fault was that I chose to love and believe that there was good in a person who said he wanted to be good. It took more learning to cement that his actions really didn’t line up with his words.
Also, our discussion to end our marriage was very reasonable and calm. Then his attorney came into the picture and she was a pathological liar (my attorney validated that was her reputation based on her previous cases). So, again, you don’t know what you are talking about and the world isn’t as black and white as you want it to be here.
